I was just looking at the screenshots section when I came across this picture of rockets and I have no idea what they are. Does anyone else know?

If I recall correctly, I used Archangel Emplacements for that shot.

The rockets, indeed, look like the rocket artillery of an archangel.

The question is, what's with the neon blue trail? In my games, it's just grey smoke...

Maybe he was using some graphics mod. I like the blue stuff much better than the grey smoke...

Some other weapons seem to have wrong trail gfx (lancer and commander weapon for example) too, my guess is that someone screwed it up when renaming .pie files.

I didn't use a graphics mod.
I think back then I discovered some additional effects in the sourcecode, which I tried. Maybe I did not commit those changes, or they got reverted. I remember there being some z-sorting issues when you looked closer...

that looks like that plasma/emp arty like the one in nexus final mission.
(nasty mother of a weapon that, can kill a mantis trx in one from opposite corner of map)

no plasma arty looks a bit dif.

Looks like half of all weapons had that ugly green trail, as it seems it was hardcoded directly in the code, probably by an accident.
All weapons look normal again.

Oh, it was percieved as being ugly... I assumed it would be a nice effect.
How taste differs...

It doesn't look thaaat bad with big projectiles, like Archangel, but have you seen how commander weapon or lancer looked when firing?

Post by **DevUrandom** » 17 Feb 2008, 01:43

LOL, no, didn't pay attention...

No, they aren't. If you cheat and use "give all" you can build them.
